The Commonwealth of United Kahndaq is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Teth-Adam with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.197 billion United Kahndaqians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiruta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.

The frighteningly efficient United Kahndaqian economy, worth 497 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 95,641 Golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 314,676 per year while the poor average 21,782, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Electrocution deaths among computer technicians are at an all-time high, Teth-Adam is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, the law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. United Kahndaq's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sha'zamism.
